Treasuries saw considerable volatility over the course of the trading session on Friday, eventually ending the day modestly higher.
Bond prices jumped early in the session before giving back ground only to move back to the upside as the day progressed. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, dipped 1.3 basis points to 4.133 percent.
The volatility on the day came as bond traders weighed the economic worries sparked by the monthly jobs report against the inflation concerns generated by an extended surge by the price of crude oil.
